      Yeah I agree. You could tell Rihanna isn’t used to dancing and singing. She could barely sing the song…and the end of the song she was so out of breath lol smh. Love the studio version of the song….but this performance lacked energy

      Agreed, life is clearly taking its toll. Her face definitely looks haggard in a few of those pics.

    One of the better performances I’ve seen from Rihanna. Camera man sucked though for zooming out and shooting the darn lights every time she danced.

      The Bible also states many things about idol worshipers such as yourself. Rihanna is dressed like a damn priestess here.

    yes she was out of breath but a studio singer? no way, she can sing live which a lot of people nowadays can not do….she’s probably not working out as much as before either way, the girl can really sing!!!

      Um…. I think you need to clean the wax out of your ears because Rihanna can’t sing for sh–t. You obviously didn’t hear how flat she was.

    I kinda like the studio version of this song, but Rihanna can’t sing and never will be able to sing. It’s pretty embarrassing to always be freakin’ flat on your notes and not only that, she was out of breath. The dancing was absolutely nothing and she looked so stank onstage. She looked like a cracked out Lisa Lefteye.

    Exactly…this girl like, so many others, is for the most part always dressed like a whore. Black women need to come to their senses and stop allowing those FREAKS in Paris to dress them. Just think of the pain they put themselves through with the high heels that ruin their feet, etc. These pop artists, actors, actresses, etc. have sold their souls for a fleeting thing and illusion called fame. I mean, this girl Rihanna is always salaciously dressed but she probably wants to be respected though…GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!1

    Peace

    I really don’t mind Rihanna as much as the other pop artist. She doesn’t sound too bad live (she has really off days sometimes), but at least she is singing.

    There is a lot of reoccurring symbolism though. “/ Call me what you want lol.

    to everyone who insist on saying that rihanna can sing is wrong.. the woman can actually sing, its just that she’s lazy, ive seen a few clips of her live where she actually sang with effort. she clearly looks tired and i dont blame her for it, she was in LA two days ago, she was in london yesterday and travelled back here today. or something like that. but she travels alot and that can tire someone all the energy, i dont understand why you people are hating.. jennifer lip-synched and you’re all praising her for the performance.. atleast rihanna never lip-synch’s, thats a great quality for a true performer.. at the end of the day shes getting money and you’re all pressed and mad. stay mad

    For those who think she’s talented, you’re wrong. She’s a terrible artist. Timing is everything. And guess what? She can’t act either. Oh and another thing, she looks like a devil worshipper. But you don’t want to hear that. Instead you want to hear about how wonderful she is lol. She’s wonderfully terrible.
